Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan recently confirmed that his country would pull out of the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), amid a widening rift with Moscow.
The CSTO is an alliance of former Soviet states that have pledged to protect one another in the event of an attack.
But Pashinyan says he wants the thousands of Russian soldiers stationed in the country to leave and that Armenia is determined to leave the alliance.
He accused its members of siding with Azerbaijan which launched a military campaign in September to seize control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, ending decades of ethnic Armenian separatist rule.
